This review is from: Where Will You Be In Two Years, A Two-Year Self-Discovery Journal (Paperback)

Written by Jessie Jamie Coleman, Where Will You Be in Two Years: A Two-Year Self-Discovery Journal is a consumable resource designed to help the user set goals and track his or her progress toward them. Virtually every page consists of two identical columns for a day of the year, asking the user to fill in the year number, and answers to the questions "What's good about me?" "Today was?" "I felt?" "I wish?" "I accomplished?" "Interesting events?" and "Anything else?". Through the course of the year, the user may fill in answers in the left-hand column on each page; then, at the start of the next year, the user may fill in the right-hand column and compare the progress and track record to where he or she was on that day last year. A very useful motivational and recordkeeping tool.

Reviewed by Nina Larson for Reader Views (6/07)

"Where Will You Be in Two Years" by Jessie Jamie Coleman is a great concept. It is a book of preprinted daily journal questions starting from "What's good about me?" and includes "I wish?" and "I felt?" with a little line space to write a few words or a short sentence. As someone who struggles to find time to journal, yet really likes and enjoys the insights that come from journaling, this is perfect for me. Ideally, I would fill out each page at the end of the day. Sometime I miss a day; that is why I recommend when you buy one for yourself that you buy another for a friend who can be a buddy on your journey. (Or vice versa!)

The format is also great for reflection. Each page contains the same questions for the same day for both years. This makes hunting down where you were last year a snap. And confirms your suspicions that you either have gotten somewhere this past year or that you are still in the same place, working on the same questions! Another good organizational setup is the questions at the beginning of each month about your goals in different parts of your life. Finally, her recommended reading list at the end of the book is only five books. And I also highly recommend at least two of those too!

A quick note is that "Where Will You Be in Two Years" starts in January and goes day-by-day to December. However this does not affect your ability to start tomorrow, no matter what part of the year. And just to make you curious about what else she has written, there are a couple of half-page "words for thoughts" spaced irregularly between months. Just in case you run out of things to say.

In summation, I am a very analytical and introspective person, but I think everyone could use "Where Will You Be in Two Years" which is short, to the point, and yet oh-so-helpful. Ms. Coleman had a great idea with this and I have already taken my own advice and bought one for a friend.
